RIP Miss Riddiford..... BUT I have mostly bad memories of her, her sudden change of mood, cruel remarks when marking work and she was ONLY encouraging if you were doing well already, she had little patience otherwise. I could write a lot more but it would be disrespectful... Now Mr Watson, I would ...

Hope FB goes better for you!!! (but enjoyed the thought - have you considered Theology College???? Meant very seriously!) It just happens that I'm in my first year now! :) http://www.cliffcollege.ac.uk All the best at Cliff, Josh! I have several friends connected with the college in fact my good fr...

I'm just making a note of the date today, Josh!! Just in case....

There was also to have been a Tudor beret for the girls made in a gold colour velvet corduroy but this was, I believe, vetoed by Miss Morrison. What I heard was that she got my very red headed niece, Jo, to model the beret - and the result was that it was thrown out! Maria or Vonny may be able to c...

we really do get in everywhere, don't we?

I have a vague recollection of wearing one - trying to juggle carrying books under the cape was not fun! But it really wasn't for long.... don't think I have any pics, though - sorry!

Young lad came into Scout troop I was running. His mother, a nurse, was concerned that I didn't allow him to become too active because he had been forecast to die by the age of six of cystic fibrosis and activity was bad for him. I had great problems keeping his activity down to moderate levels. Un...

ooh! I recognised the face but didn't know he was an OB! Well Done! BTW I saw that production of King Lear via NTLive - live broadcasts of National Theatre productions to cinemas worldwide - Derek Jacobi (another nominee) was fabulous - so much stamina & energy for a man of his age - surely a r...

I can't be absolutely sure but the sites of the Rose & Globe Theatres were previously bear bating sites and Bankside would be the right area... The Globe was rebuilt just down the road and the Rose is underneath an office block - my sister & I were part of the campaign in the late 1980s to s...

BUMP - trying to get the ball rolling on our Finnish get together again... see the other thread under societies for details!

http://www.buddy-icons.info/img/smile/1448.gif Here we go again - trying to re-organise the postponed Inaugural meeting of Old Blues in Finland! So, are you in Finland? do you know any OBs who are? Looking for OBs and ideas for a venue to get together - at the moment I know of 9 OBs, so with famili...

I've just been in touch with 2 OBs in Oz - so relieved they are ok. Admittedly my Godson (Alex Matthews) is in Sydney so well out of the way but his sister Juliana (Matthews 80-87) is in Brisbane so a bit closer - she says they are too far south but that everyone is being urged to evacuate which is ...
